Go - is it possible to encrypt excel workbook - excel

I have checked the excelize package, there's the ProtectSheet function. However this only protects the sheet from changes etc not protecting from the unauthorised access.
I have look for several other options/packages and they don't seem to offer such capabilities.
I know that ultimately I could still zip-password protect the excel file, but being able to protect the workbook itself is much preferable.

After some research it seems there's no Go packages that can achieve this. However I've come across a npm package - secure-spreadsheet that is able to password protect an excel file.
As I needed to program the password protect operation in Go, what i did was to trigger an os command in the Go code to invoke the npm package to password protect the file.
The Go program is deployed & executed in an alpine container, which i can install the node-npm and have access to npx command.
code sample:
func passProtectExcelWorkbook(filename, outFilename string) error {
passwd := "password"
cat := exec.Command("cat", filename)
excel := exec.Command("npx", "secure-spreadsheet", "--password", passwd, "--input-format", excelExt)
file, err := os.Create(outFilename)
if err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("error when creating excel file: %v err: %v", outFilename, err)
}
defer file.Close()
excel.Stdin, err = cat.StdoutPipe()
if err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("error when reading from cat command output: %v", err)
}
excel.Stdout = file
if err := excel.Start(); err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("error when starting npx command: %v", err)
}
if err := cat.Run(); err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("error when running cat command: %v", err)
}
return excel.Wait()
}

Go language Excelize library support encrypt workbook with password since v2.6.1. Reference the issue, #199, you can specify password like this:
workbook.SaveAs("Encryption.xlsx", excelize.Options{Password: "your_password"})

I'm trying to use WalkDir with Chmod to recursively change the permission of a directory and its files and subdirectories. Somehow it does just change the first file or directory of the given path and stops afterwards. Can someone spot the mistake? getFileMode just converts the string "755" in os.FileMode(0755) and returns it.
func ChmodRec(path string, di fs.DirEntry, err error) error {
fileMode, err2 := getFileMode(os.Getenv("CHMOD_MODE"))
if err2 != nil {
log.Fatal("Could not set file mode for chmodding", path)
panic(err)
}
err2 = os.Chmod(path, fileMode)
if err2 != nil {
fmt.Println("Could not chmod", path)
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println("Changing mode of", path)
return nil
}
func ChmodRecursive(path string, mode string) {
os.Setenv("CHMOD_MODE", mode)
err := filepath.WalkDir(path, ChmodRec)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal("Could not chmod recursively ", path)
panic(err)
}
}
func main() {
path := "bla/test/"
mode := "755"
ChmodRecursive(path, mode)
}
Your code does not check err argument in ChmodRec. This is an extract from official documentation:
WalkDir calls the function with a non-nil err argument in two cases.
First, if the initial fs.Stat on the root directory fails, WalkDir
calls the function with path set to root, d set to nil, and err set to
the error from fs.Stat.
Second, if a directory's ReadDir method fails, WalkDir calls the
function with path set to the directory's path, d set to an
fs.DirEntry describing the directory, and err set to the error from
ReadDir. In this second case, the function is called twice with the
path of the directory: the first call is before the directory read is
attempted and has err set to nil, giving the function a chance to
return SkipDir and avoid the ReadDir entirely. The second call is
after a failed ReadDir and reports the error from ReadDir. (If ReadDir
succeeds, there is no second call.)
Add this code to the beginning of the function. It can give you a hint:
func ChmodRec(path string, di fs.DirEntry, err error) error {
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}

fork/exec ./node_modules/.bin/solcjs: no such file or directory

I have a small issue here when I try to run this code
package main
import (
"fmt"
"os/exec"
)
func main() {
out, err := exec.Command("./node_modules/.bin/solcjs", "--version").Output()
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(out)
}
This code will get solcjs version from ./node_modules/.bin/solcjs.
But, the code return an error telling me that the file/folder doesn't exist, and I try the command ./node_modules/.bin/solcjs --version my self and it work perfectly. Why when i use go it show error?
You probably need to mention the full path of the solcjs file.
Use snippet below to take the current working directory and then add this path before /node_modules/.bin/solcjs:
mydir, _ := os.Getwd()
file_full_path := mydir + "/node_modules/.bin/solcjs"
out, err := exec.Command(file_full_path, "--version").Output()

How to restart itself in Go daemon process?

I use go-daemon library to fork process and run it in background. And I need to restart the daemon process after update performed from within http handler.
The handler code is
func httpUpdate(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
if !isPost(req.Method) {
http.Error(w, http.StatusText(http.StatusMethodNotAllowed), http.StatusMethodNotAllowed)
return
}
if checkAuth(req) != 200 {
http.Error(w, http.StatusText(http.StatusUnauthorized), http.StatusUnauthorized)
return
}
log.Println("INFO: Update request, checking for update...")
var err = doUpdate(UPDATE_URL, nil, false)
if !isError(err) {
log.Println("INFO: Update successful, exit")
var system = RealSystem{}
system.Run(fmt.Sprintf("(sleep 0.3s && %s start &> /test/extra.log)&disown", appFilename()))
system.Exit(0)
return
}
w.WriteHeader(http.StatusNoContent)
}
doUpdate() returns nil if successfully replaced the executable file. RealSystem is just wrapper for exec.Command and os.Exit(). appFilename() is the executable file name. The command to start app is /path/to/app start.
I see that new process starts, but executing Context::Reborn() fails with EOF error. Looks like some intrinsic pipes used as implementation details fail with EOF (may be...).
What would be the reason? Or may be there is a better way of doing that?
For now everything happens inside docker container in the "context" of e2e test if it matters. I spent hours trying to make it work but with no success.
I assume you mean restarting the currently running Go binary. You can use a syscall for unix-based systems, and use an exec.Command for Windows.
func RestartSelf() error {
self, err := osext.Executable()
if err != nil {
return err
}
args := os.Args
env := os.Environ()
// Windows does not support exec syscall.
if runtime.GOOS == "windows" {
cmd := exec.Command(self, args[1:]...)
cmd.Stdout = os.Stdout
cmd.Stderr = os.Stderr
cmd.Stdin = os.Stdin
cmd.Env = env
err := cmd.Run()
if err == nil {
os.Exit(0)
}
return err
}
return syscall.Exec(self, args, env)
}
The issue is specific to the library. Spawn new self instance from within child process is not a problem for the system, but for that library.
To achieve this it's necessary to execute something like that.
Note the _GO_DAEMON=0 variable set to zero. This makes library follow parent control flow.
var cmd = exec.Command("bash", "-c", fmt.Sprintf("sleep 0.5s; _GO_DAEMON=0 %s start", appFilename()))
var err = cmd.Start()
Also it was necessary to make small changes to the original library. Here is the fork.

Answer to password shell prompt in golang

I am searching for a way to answer to a shell password prompt in golang.
like :
bussiere#kus:~/Workspace/rteest$ ./passwordtest.sh
Password :
I would like to enter the password automatically with my token in golang after launching a shell command / script ...
I've made some script that get a one time token with mfa if everything is ok (in golang). So i need to enter the tempory token to a linux password prompt.
I know that there is the expect command but i would like to compile my program to embed it and have minimal depency.
Thanks and regards
edit thks to #nevermore i've tried this (but it doesn't work) : https://play.golang.org/p/Ffm3q5h636
package main
import (
"os/exec"
"fmt"
"log"
"io"
)
func main() {
cmdb := "git"
args := "clone https://bb#gitlab.com/bb/fzgs.git"
cmd := exec.Command(cmdb, args)
stdin, err := cmd.StdinPipe()
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
go func() {
defer stdin.Close()
io.WriteString(stdin, "QSRDFGHJfZERTYU")
}()
out, err := cmd.CombinedOutput()
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Printf("%s\n", out)
}
it gives me this :
2017/05/12 20:42:36 exit status 1
exit status 1
edit bis :
cmdb := "git"
args := "https://bb#gitlab.com/bb/fzgs.git"
cmd := exec.Command(cmdb, "clone", args)
it asks for the password :
Password for 'https://bb#gitlab.com':
The problem is that you are trying to send the password before Git asks you
to do so.
And the way Git asks for password depends on whether credential helper is set. If the credential helper is not set, or doesn't return a password, the user is asked for input.
Solution #1: Include Password into URI
In most cases (at least with Github and Bitbucket) the Git server accepts
credentials passed via HTTPS URI, e.g. https://user:password#domain.com/repo.git.
cmd := exec.Command("git", "clone", "https://bb:PASSWORD#gitlab.com/bb/fzgs.git")
env := os.Environ()
env = append(env, "GIT_ASKPASS=")
cmd.Env = env
var out bytes.Buffer
cmd.Stdout = &out
err := cmd.Run()
Solution #2: Custom Credential Helper
Another way is to make a credential helper script, e.g.:
#!/bin/bash -
printf '%s\n' 'YOUR_PASSWORD'
and pass it via GIT_ASKPASS:
cmd := exec.Command("git", "clone", "https://bb#gitlab.com/bb/fzgs.git")
env := os.Environ()
env = append(env, "GIT_ASKPASS=/path/to/fzgs-askpass.sh")
cmd.Env = env
var out bytes.Buffer
cmd.Stdout = &out
err := cmd.Run()
If a user is asked for a password in their shell, you can use golang to write to the io.Writer that is os.Stdin
Properly passing data on stdin to a command and receiving data from stdout of that command in golang
os.Stdin is a os.File created by
NewFile(uintptr(syscall.Stdin), "/dev/stdin")
And the password prompt will be reading from this file
You can execute ./passwordtest.sh as in your question, and then write the password to os.Stdin, and the bash script should accept the bytes written by golang as the password.
Alternatively is actually a method for this in the exec package for the Cmd type.
Use cmd to execute your shell script
Input the password using stdin, or cmd.StdinPip()
Read the shells output using cmd.CombinedOutput()
Cmd represents an external command being prepared or run.
https://golang.org/pkg/os/exec/#Cmd.StdinPipe
cmd := exec.Command("cat")
stdin, err := cmd.StdinPipe()
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
go func() {
defer stdin.Close()
io.WriteString(stdin, "values written to stdin are passed to cmd's standard input")
}()
out, err := cmd.CombinedOutput()
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Printf("%s\n", out)
StdinPipe returns a pipe that will be connected to the command's standard input when the command starts. The pipe will be closed automatically after Wait sees the command exit. A caller need only call Close to force the pipe to close sooner. For example, if the command being run will not exit until standard input is closed, the caller must close the pipe.
Also, your cmd arguments shouldn't combine clone and the url, try instead
cmd := exec.Command(cmdb, "clone", url)

Trying to launch an external editor from within a Go program

I am trying to figure out how to launch an external editor from within a Go program, wait for the user to close the editor, and then continue execution of the program. Based on this SO answer, I currently have this code:
package main
import (
"log"
"os"
"os/exec"
)
func main() {
fpath := os.TempDir() + "/thetemporaryfile.txt"
f, err := os.Create(fpath)
if err != nil {
log.Printf("1")
log.Fatal(err)
}
f.Close()
cmd := exec.Command("vim", fpath)
err = cmd.Start()
if err != nil {
log.Printf("2")
log.Fatal(err)
}
err = cmd.Wait()
if err != nil {
log.Printf("Error while editing. Error: %v\n", err)
} else {
log.Printf("Successfully edited.")
}
}
When I run the program, I get this:
chris#DPC3:~/code/go/src/launcheditor$ go run launcheditor.go
2012/08/23 10:50:37 Error while editing. Error: exit status 1
chris#DPC3:~/code/go/src/launcheditor$
I have also tried using exec.Run() instead of exec.Start(), but that doesn't seem to work either (though it doesn't fail at the same place).
I can get it to work if I use Gvim instead of Vim, but it refuses to work with both Vim and nano. I think it's related to Vim and nano running inside the terminal emulator instead of creating an external window.
Apparently, you have to set Stdin, Stdout and Stderr on the Cmd object to os.Std(in|out|err). Like this (assuming that the object is called cmd):
cmd.Stdin = os.Stdin
cmd.Stdout = os.Stdout
cmd.Stderr = os.Stderr
Credit for solving this goes to the guys on #go-nuts on freenode.
This works for me but it has the disadvantage of opening another terminal (which will automatically close after edition) :
cmd := exec.Command("/usr/bin/xterm", "-e", "vim "+fpath)
Here in cmd := exec.Command("vim", fpath), you're doing more or less:
$ PATH= vim foo.txt
bash: vim: No such file or directory
$
Shell uses the PATH environment variable, exec.Command does not. You have to lookup the vim binary and pass its full path to exec.Command. exec.LookPath does that for you.
